Why? Coach is gonna play slugs like tho.as regardless.  We need to end the country club surrounding this team and value talent as much as intangibles.

Have those words been used in the same sentence before?

Hey c'mon. We're soooo negative here. Rejoice!! The Canadian Mafia are back running things. The Besties are back for 3 freaking years.

I think we will have a bit of improvement at the beginning of next year followed by a descent back to the same old, same old. Forced compliance rarel;y produces transformation, and O'Shea will see his 3 year contract as a validation of his modus operandi.

OShea has always done it according to some formula in his head, but this upcoming year I'm hoping (maybe unrealsitically) he and Walters take a good hard look at what went wrong in '25 that we finished 4th in the western conference. And what is needed to change.

  Our offense was disjointed and lacked direction.  Our oline wasn't good enough. Our dline was in the bottom 3rd of the league.

(hard work +Experience) > talent

I don't care what Osh told him. Walters wears the GM title not Osh. If a RB wants 250k per year, it's up to the GM to go back to the coach and say we couldn't get a reasonable deal done, let's move to plan B. You don't blow your brains out on albatross contracts just because the coach really would like a guy back. That's nonsense.

so you want a rift between your G.M and H.C?....No trust in his judgement...after all he is the coach and should see talent/value

I agree tho Walter's needs to take more ownership and tell osh for a lack of better word's to "eff off" in some of his ideas

We routinely played more Canadians than required so does it matter if we don't use the advantage?

YEAH...we dont have to play a Canadian RB...We choose to

again...back to coach's eye for talent

Kramdi..Thomas..Kolo...Hallett getting major reps...Corcorran...Korny...none those guys would get reps elsewhere like here...I cant see any starting anywhere else....Do a better job with your canadian talent and dont focus on ST only guys...Talented players can play teams....Untalented players who only can play teams dont make adequate backups let alone starters

I think you meant what went wrong starting on 2023....that may be a better way to fix it...and stop referencing back to 2019-2021...Osh still lives there

If a rift is necessary, then a rift it must be. If that rift can't be navigated someone has to go. I would rather Walters do his job, and if the situation were to become untenable then do what else is necessary. I don't buy into the notion that Walters must be OSH's puppet for harmony. That's a cop out for Walters not doing his job.

Does Hogan have any more time left on his contract?
